[edit] Richard Diamond

Speady Delete - non-notable YoungWebster 12:38, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep - definitely notable. What's your basis? He's the president of a youth wing of a major party. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 12:42, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment Does not meet WP:BIO criteria; specifically, Political figures holding international, national or statewide/provincewide office or members of a national, state or provincial legislature. A junior wing of a party is non-notable--YoungWebster 12:50, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Question If you think it is speedyable, why nominate it here? David Sneek 13:12, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Even though I think it should be a speedy delete, I think it is only fair to have a fair debate--YoungWebster 13:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Mountain of precedent: Cat:Youth wings of political parties by country. Youth wings are notable and are all over WP. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 19:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, doesn't meet WP:BIO criteria.--Isotope23 15:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Isotope; that being said, speedy noms are invalid without criteria listed, and "non-notable" isn't one of them. RGTraynor 15:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • The only possible criteria for speedy that could be cited isA7 but I think president of the youth wing of a political party is at least an assertion of notability.--Isotope23 16:50, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• I'm personally inclined to delete, on the basis that presidents of political parties' youth wings aren't sufficiently notable, but this most certainly does not meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. Speedy and AFD aren't the same thing. Bearcat 18:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Bearcat. Ardenn 18:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for same reasons as Bearcat. HistoryBA 18:48, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, per Crazy Russian. David Sneek 20:32, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, even if his youth wing is notable, that doesn't make him notable. If he gets a provincial or a national Parliament seat, then I'll change my vote. User:Zoe|^(talk) 22:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable, though I definitely think that AFD was the best choice since it would be a fairly questionable speedy. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 22:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Richard Diamond, Private Detective since appears likely the vote is going to be for deletion. If kept, a dab statement should be added. 23skidoo 22:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• delete per YoungWebster's reply to CrazyRussian M1ss1ontomars2k4 00:18, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete just caise the organization is noteable doesn't mean its execs are. - pm_shef 00:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Richard Diamond, Private Detective per 23skidoo. Otherwise I agree with pm_shef. --Metropolitan90 02:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, my two cents —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.193.250.227 (talk • contribs) .
• Delete. Unless there's something more important about his life, they can mention him in the Young Liberals article. Fagstein 23:39, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per CrazyRussian. Samaritan 03:17, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I think that the article is just here so that he can remain on the Endorsements for the Liberal Party of Canada leadership convention, 2006 article. --JGGardiner 04:33, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Zoe. Maybe add one sentence to Young Liberals of Canada. Melchoir 07:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
